THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Discover the funny, uplifting,
occasionally heartbreaking and always honest life story of Phillip
Schofield '[A] fantastic read on such an interesting life' Lorraine
Kelly 'A really smashing book' Michael Ball For forty years we've
watched Phillip on our tellies, from children's TV to This Morning
and Dancing on Ice, but what is it like on set and who is he when
the camera's off? In Life's What You Make It Philip for the first
time takes us behind the scenes of his remarkable career. From his
idyllic childhood in Cornwall, where for years he pestered the BBC
for a job, eventually landing a prize position in the Broom
Cupboard with mischievous sidekick Gordon the Gopher, through
hosting Going Live!, starring in Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat and finally finding his on-screen home and
presenting-partner Holly Willoughby on This Morning, Phillip takes
us on the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. ____ 'For a
long time, I felt that I couldn't write this book. At first, I
didn't think I'd lived enough, then life got busy and filled with
distractions. In more recent years, there was always a very painful
consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go. 'I
have recently decided that the truth is the only thing that can set
me free. The truth has taken a long time to make itself clear to
me, but now is the right time to share it, all of it. 'Television
and broadcasting has been a part of my DNA for as long as I can
remember. As a young boy I would make model TV sets out of
cardboard boxes, while spending long summers at home, barefoot on
Cornwall's golden beaches. Landing a job at the ice-cream kiosk, I
would enviously look on as my presenting heroes took to the stage
of Radio 1's Roadshow, an unforgettable event when it came to town.
'In Life's What You Make It I look back with nostalgic delight on
my life, from being a young boy endlessly writing letters to the
BBC in pursuit of a job in broadcasting, to making it on to the
Broom Cupboard, with my infamous sidekick Gordon the Gopher, to
being on Going Live and starring as the lead in Lord Andrew Lloyd
Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It has
taken four decades to get here but I feel lucky to have called the
sets of Talking Telephone Numbers, The Cube, Dancing on Ice and of
course, This Morning, home. 'I'm going to take you behind the
scenes of my television home at ITV, into my career and my
dangerously funny relationship with Holly Willoughby. I'm going to
introduce you to my loving and remarkable family, and I hope most
of all to tell you that life, it seems, is what you make it. Take
it from someone who has sat on the very edge and looked over, it's
all about the people that love you, and after that anything is
possible. So, finally, here we go, this is the real me.' ____ 'A
beautiful book. There are amazing stories in there about meeting
Princess Diana, the Red Arrows and all of our favourite telly
shows. It's a delight' Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2 'We have loved your
book - you've been so honest, open, everything that anyone will
have hoped to get from this book . . . you get it. A stroll through
your incredible career and you also tackle, head on, in a really
beautiful way what happened earlier this year' Andrea McLean, Loose
Women 'One of our favourite things is the many hilarious anecdotes
he has to share about his good friend Holly Willoughby' Hello! 'The
book we've all been waiting for . . . we haven't been able to put
it down' New 'A bona fide national treasure . . . He tells his
story in his way, with great honesty' Prima 'A fantastic read!'

Kelly 'A really smashing book' Michael Ball _________ For forty
years we've been watching Phillip - from children's TV to Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and This Morning - but what
is life like behind the scenes and who is he when the camera is
off? In Life's What You Make It Phillip tells us his secrets,
whisking us from an idyllic Cornwall childhood via pestering the
BBC for a job to hanging out with stars of stage and screen. Packed
with stories he's never told, here's all the excitement of live TV,
the mayhem and mistakes, the friendships with beloved co-stars and
the sadness of onscreen breakups. Above all, it's the wonderful
tale of how life - like our favourite shows - is truly and always
what you make it. _________ 'A beautiful book. There are amazing
stories in there about meeting Princess Diana, the Red Arrows and
all of our favourite telly shows. It's a delight' Zoe Ball, BBC
